A girl with big dreams. A land with strict societal rules. A spirit that will never die.

Young Adaugo has lived her life according to cultural expectations. Any semblance of building a life of her own was actively discouraged for young women like her. But, Adaugo is not like others who came before her; she is born of strong spirit and mind, she knows there’s something more for her in the universe, but finding that will take strength she never knew she had and a deep understanding of what it is to listen to the voice within and grasp all life has to offer, no matter the obstacles placed in front of her.

Follow Adaugo as she navigates through life, loss and heartache in a world built to stifle her loving spirit. Will she be able to stave off the temptation to give in to societal expectations to live life as her authentic self? Or will she give in like those gone before her?

I really enjoyed reading this book. It follows the story of a girl named Adaugo as she works hard to achieve her dreams despite all the adversaries she faces. It is a well written and heart-warming story, and the end left me with a smile on my face!

This as an excellently written novel that introduces us to another culture through the author’s careful use of language and descriptive terms. I love this book, and I think you will like it too.

This is a fascinating tale about a girl from a culture so different from my own, yet surprisingly similar. Her life experiences reflect the same struggle many of us face, and I found myself easily able to relate to her. Watching her grow and blossom into the strong woman she becomes makes this story all the more fulfilling.
